Disinfo: McCain's VP Sarah Palin Wants Creationism Taught in School

Brandon Keim, Wired: Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin wants creationism taught in science classes.In a 2006 gubernatorial debate, the soon-to-be governor of Alaska said of evolution and creation education, "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of education. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both."Asked by the Anchorage Daily News whether she believed in evolution, Palin declined to answer, but said that "I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class.""I'm not going to pretend I know how all this came to be," she said.
